Each page is only 5x7 inches, a size I associate more with self-help books than collections from such a sharp and subtle mind as Smith’s.
Not by the length – barely 100 pages of text – but by the dimensions. When I first opened Zadie Smith’s Intimati ons: Six Essays (Penguin, 112 pp., $10.95, July 2020), I felt disappointed.
